Colombian Flag - National Symbol of Colombia | Official Design & Meaning #1819979 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Colombia consists of three horizontal bands: yellow (occupying half the flag’s height), followed by blue and red, each taking a quarter. Adopted on November 26, 1861, it reflects the country’s independence ideals and geographic richness-yellow for gold and sovereignty, blue for the oceans and sky, and red for the blood shed for freedom. Its design is shared with Ecuador and Venezuela, stemming from the former Gran Colombia.
